I think it is an Americanism of the British term "birds", for ladies. See also the Spanish word "chicas" for girls.

I don't think so. It's just what the cool guys used to call their girlfriends back in high school. If you were going steady, you were his Chick.

[Arias]

I don't think so, but it's definitely not recommended.

[Seangreen]

I think calling them female is worse, they are women

[Roguehoneylife]

It depends on the context honestly

[Daniela1982]

Not anymore than guys get referred to as dudes.

[DCooper]

Well it's better than "birthing persons" lol

[OliviaNguyen]

Guys are Dudes, girls are Chicks.
